Originally posted by Will Northcote No wonder people are happy according to your pic. It seems that millions of phones are being sent away.

Trouble is, they are all being used by the commuters on the local buses.

And not only that, it appears that they are edible phones too! That must be a pic of the latest new developement, the Banana9000 series cell phone that you can use as a cell phone and then eat it later for lunch or a snack. And, to promote it, they sent out millions of them, according to that ad next to the Banana9000. Of course everyone is happy! A free cell phone and a snack rolled into one... Who could resist??

Yep, you got it, that's the new model we're working on Nokia's top secret plan for boosting the sales

So the NEXT generation of mobile phones will be battling each other to produce the most unidentifiable piece of telecommunications equipment?

Considering the reduction in size (they are now small enough to be unusable) and the add-on technology like video and digital still photography (does anyone really want to see "live" pictures of Monkeyboy out on the Razz?), the next big battlefield could easily focus on the concealment factor.

Expect to lose phones all over the place as cigarette packets, Mars bars, dead terrapins, half-eaten Big Macs, toy cars, assorted fruit and vegetables and any number of hand-sized objects start chirruping and buzzing away with chirpy, jolly and suicidally "happy" ring tones all around us.

People in darkened cinemas and hushed theatres will be heard to screech "turn that bloody banana off", and "Excuse me madam, is that YOUR vibrating phallic object?", or "Would the owner of a large green gherkin, that rings with the 1812 overture, please come to customer services".

God knows what will happen in the Accident & Emergency rooms around the world;
"Patient is one Betty McTavish, aged 81, ingested a pork pie found to contain a fifth generation video phone cum palmtop organiser, stats are BP; 180 over 45. Pulse 125. Saturation down to 88%... we've tried calling the number, it answered and can now we see she has a ruptured duodenal ulcer and had fried chicken for lunch with mashed potato."

"Dr Thompson! Page Cardiology for a consult and get this patient a bedpan - it seems that the hotdog phone is ready to come out"

"Nurse, I'm going to need some help removing this soap-on-a-rope, when I say "go" could you please ring the number. Mrs Golightly says that the phone is set to vibrate and this is how she normally gets it out when she isn't stuck in the handcuffs."

I'll think of a proper sig when I get a minute...

For now, I'm just waiting for the smack of the Bo against a hard wooden floor....
